Embodiment Construction

[0059] Figure 1a with 1b A set of three different beverage production machines 1, 2, 3 is shown. The three machines have the same frame 4 comprising two side walls, a rear wall, a floor and an inner partition wall 41 . The three machines also have the same core unit 9 consisting of a dispensing area 5 , a water tank 6 , a boiler 7 and an electronic control unit 8 . These elements of the core unit 9 can be based on their Figure 1a The relative positions in are placed at the bottom of the frame 4: the dispensing area 5 and the water tank 6 are located in front of the partition wall 41 of the frame, and the boiler 7 and the electronic control unit 8 are located behind the partition wall 41 of the frame. Holes in the side and rear walls of the frame 4 enable the electrical connection of the electronic control unit 8 and the fluid connection of the boiler 7 with the other elements of the dispenser.

[0060] Starting from the frame 4 and the core unit 9, different food ingredien...

Abstract

The invention concerns a set of differing beverage production machines, the machines comprising: -one core unit comprising at least a diluent supply system, and -one food ingredient storing module, said storing module being selected in a plurality of different alternative modules for storing the food ingredient, and / or -one food ingredient dosing module, said dosing module being selected in a plurality of different alternative modules for dosing the food ingredient, and / or -one food ingredient processing module, said processing module being selected in a plurality of different alternative modules for processing the food ingredient.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a group of different beverage production machines comprising a core unit and different modules for storing, dosing and / or processing food ingredients. Background technique [0002] Beverage preparation machines offering different beverage delivery capabilities are complex and expensive to manufacture. There is a need to rationalize the manufacture of beverage machines while still offering a wide range of machines with different operator options. [0003] US 5,957,033 describes a coffee machine that can be assembled quickly. The machine consists of several modules arranged so that they can slide in a frame. These modules are roast and ground coffee extraction unit, water supply unit and electronic control unit. The proposed manufacturing method is simplified, but only one type of machine is manufactured. [0004] EP2070454 describes the modular manufacture of a beverage production machine. All machines present the s...
